Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 232

In addition to storing water, the function of fish ponds can also prevent floods and prevent floods from submerging crops and causing huge losses.Of course, the biggest effect is that the water in the fish pond can be used to irrigate crops and trees and improve the climate.

At the same time, Daya can also inject the spring water in the space into the fish pond to improve the survival rate of crops, trees, vegetables and fruits.Regarding this point, it is very important, and it involves Da Ya's lofty ideal and grand goal of building a large oasis in this Gobi desert!
To dig a good fish pond, the first thing to solve is the housing problem.

On the Gobi Desert, there are gravels everywhere, the small ones are as big as soybeans, and the big ones can be used to build houses and walls.As for the yellow mud and lime used to repair the house, before leaving Shanqian Village, Da Ya secretly hid a few sacks in the space.

On this day, Daya drove a carriage alone to a faraway place.When he came back, he brought back five sacks of yellow mud and two sacks of lime. "Oh, ma'am, where did you find the yellow mud and lime?" Uncle Liang knew how to do masonry work, and when he saw the yellow mud and lime, he was surprised and delighted, and felt very kind.

Da Ya frowned, and said in distress: "That place, I also walked there by accident, and suddenly found a large piece of yellow mud, so I quickly dug five sacks. Not far from the yellow mud I found a small piece of limestone, so I quickly packed two sacks. At that time, because I was so happy, I forgot to mark it.

After walking back for a while, I suddenly felt that it was not an easy task to go so far. I wanted to go back and pack some more yellow mud and lime.However, after looking around for a long time, I couldn't find that place!I have no choice but to come back! "

No one can predict what strange things will happen in this vast and magical Gobi Desert.Everyone agreed with her statement, and all lamented that this place is a magical place, but no one doubted anything.

After all, unless she is a fairy and can conjure spells, where did the yellow mud and lime come from?She is a person, not a fairy, everyone knows this very well.Therefore, I agree with her statement.

Xiangdong also said that the Gobi Desert is sometimes very strange, and some unexpected things will happen.Moreover, the Gobi Desert is different from a desert after all, with yellow mud and lime, it seems that it is not completely impossible.

alright!With the yellow mud and lime, we went to pick up a lot of big stones and cut a lot of thatch.That's it for building the house!The wood for building the house was also bought in five large carts when passing through the previous county town.

Moreover, when buying wood, they also bought the five carts loaded with wood, and Shishi, Shiwu, Guidance, Chujiu and Liang Mandun rushed over.In the future, when the house is built and settled down, Da Ya plans to send a few men to a mountain a hundred miles away to chop some wood for later use.

Uncle Liang has worked as a mason for several years. Building a house is a skilled job for him. Under his guidance and leadership, a two-entry stone house was completely built in only two months. up!

The second-entry house has high walls and the front yard is lived in on the seventh, ninth, eleventh and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Aunt Liang and Liang Mantun live in the concierge.The dining room, reception room and warehouse, mill, woodshed, and hut are also located in the front yard.In addition, two bathrooms were specially built in the front yard.

There are three main rooms in the backyard, two of which are bedrooms, Da Ya takes Tian Tian and Chuan Jiang to live in one, Zhen Xing lives in one, and the other is a study shared by Da Ya and Zhen Xing.There are three rooms in the east and west rooms, the east room is the thatched room, the shower room, the small kitchen and the firewood room, and the west room houses Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang, as well as tea fruit and tea leaves.

A row of wooden slats were built on the roof, covered with a layer of asphalt felt, and the linoleum was tightly tied to the wooden slats to prevent it from being blown away when the wind blows.Several layers of thick grass curtains were laid on top of the asphalt felt, and the grass curtains were pressed down with large stones.

"Okay, you're done. Even if winter comes, it won't be very cold! Put a fire pit and a fireplace in the house, no matter it's snowing or hailstorming, you won't be shivering with cold!"

Seeing Uncle Liang put the last big rock on the roof, Da Ya couldn't help clapping her hands and laughing, nodding in satisfaction.

Now, I finally have a decent home!Children don't have to be cold, and don't have to worry about wolves coming into the house in the middle of the night!The wall is about three meters high, tall and thick, very strong.Moreover, on the outside of the fence, a trench was dug to protect the house, and water was brought in from the small river.On both sides of the trench, a circle of brambles and sisal were planted.

These thorns and sisal were all dug on the [-]th, [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th day, and Liang Mandun and his son went to the mountains fifty miles away to dig them together, which took a lot of effort.

Daya added spatial spring water to the fish pond, and the trees and vegetables irrigated with the water in the fish pond have a 100% survival rate and are growing gratifyingly.

Before the house was built, the family ate vegetables, cucumbers, beans, cabbage, radishes, shallots, garlic, everything!Even the watermelons have matured several times after moving into the new home. Da Ya took the children to pick watermelons, and Tian Tian and Chuan Jiang cheered happily.

"Wow! Pick watermelons!" This was Chuanjiang's cheers.

"Hehe, pick watermelon!" This is Tiantian's cheerful laughter, girls are softer than boys, and it sounds full of milky fragrance.

Today, Tiantian and Chuanjiang are one year and two months old, and they have just learned to walk, but they are still not very stable.Fortunately, the Gobi Desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and there are no scary snakes or insects.Even wolves, according to the guide, only live in the deep mountains hundreds of miles away.

When the house was being built, Da Ya only asked Cha Guo Cha Cha and Zhen Xing to follow the two young children, and asked Chu Qi, who was in charge of patrolling, to pay more attention to the whereabouts of the children.Moreover, the three older children were ordered not to leave the sight of everyone.

Zhenxing is well-behaved and sensible. He matures at least three years earlier than most of his peers. Cha Guo is also very well-behaved, so Da Ya doesn't have to worry about it.The children are so obedient and sensible, which is also a comfort to Da Ya.The pain and gloom of being forced by the imperial power and having to leave home is gradually fading away.

Before sunset, after a sumptuous dinner, everyone sat under the grape arbor in the courtyard and chatted around the fire for an hour.Da Ya then ordered Sister Liang: "Open the biggest watermelon, let everyone experience the wonderful feeling of eating watermelon around the stove!"

It's not that there are no watermelons in Languo, but they are rarely planted. It is said that they are monopolized by several aristocratic families.Moreover, these families are all imperial merchants. Apart from paying tribute to the imperial palace, they sell very limited watermelons, and the prices are astonishing.A catty of watermelon can be bought for ten taels of silver, which is beyond the reach of an ordinary family.

Da Ya traveled so long, that is, when she was at Qiao's house, she was lucky enough to taste it.However, on the seventh day, the ninth day, the eleventh day, and the fifteenth day, they ate a lot because they were with Master Qiao and the mighty general.

"Wow, eating watermelon around the stove! It's so amazing. In the past, this was something I didn't even dare to think about!" Chu Qi couldn't help but exclaimed, with a little childish look on his handsome face.

Chu Jiu also couldn't help sighing: "Yes, this watermelon is supposed to be eaten only in summer, and summer is usually too hot to sweat, who would sit around the stove? It's in this place , to have the opportunity to experience this wonderful feeling!"

When the watermelon was cut, Da Ya nodded in satisfaction: "Well, it's very good! It's completely ripe, let's share a piece for each person first!" At this point, she glanced at the dancing Chuanjiang, and said with a teasing smile: "No Fight, after eating this, open another one!"

"Hey, we won't fight, we are all good boys!" Tiantian smiled cutely.

"Well, Tiantian is a good boy! However, your brother's saliva is about to flow!" Da Ya kissed Tiantian and praised him.

Chuanjiang quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, smiled embarrassedly, and quickly stated: "I won't fight, I'm a little man, I will let my sister!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Da Ya eagerly, those big bright eyes seemed to be able to speak: Mom, I want to kiss you too!

"Well, Chuanjiang is also a good boy!" The big girl couldn't help but smile, and kissed the little guy with a happy smile on her face.

Zhenxing looked at his younger siblings enviously.

Da Ya grinned, took a few steps forward, and lowered her head to kiss Zhenxing's forehead: "Zhenxing is also a good boy, and a good example for younger siblings!"

"Mom, I'm almost nine years old, I'm a big kid!" Zhenxing's heart was sweet, and he looked shy.

"You are 30 years old, and you are also my mother's child!" Da Ya smiled happily.

Chu Qi aimed at the red sac of the watermelon, bit it down, wow, wow, that is refreshing and sweet!Can't help admiring: "Oh, this watermelon is delicious, much better than the ones I ate in Beijing before!"

Chu Jiu also nodded vigorously: "Well, that's true! After eating the watermelon here, I feel that the watermelon before is not delicious!"

Liang Mantun's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "This watermelon is even more delicious than the ones given to the emperor as a tribute?"

Eleven nodded sharply: "Well, yes!"

Da Ya smiled slightly and answered everyone's questions: "The sunshine here is long, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so the melons and fruits produced here are better than other places! This is the main reason why I want to start a business and settle here. , Otherwise, you think I have a brain problem, and I ran all the way to this place where there are no people to go crazy?"

Wow, it turned out to be like this!Niang (Madame) is amazing!
Everyone looked at Da Ya with burning eyes, their eyes were full of little stars.

Zhenxing smiled, and said pretending to be old-fashioned: "Well, so to speak, if the melons and fruits we grow are transported to the capital to sell, can they be sold at a very high price?"

"Of course! However, transportation and storage are big problems!" Chu Qi sighed.

"That's right. When it comes to transportation, first of all, the road into the Gobi Desert is not good. It's really bad! From the county to here, we walked for a full ten days last time. The existing road conditions want to sell melons and fruits to the capital. , That's just a fool's dream!" Chu Jiu sighed with great regret.

Da Ya said very seriously: "That's right, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads! In addition, you must also solve the problem of keeping melons and fruits fresh. This is a huge problem!"

When talking about preservation, she couldn't help but think of the space, and the magical space can solve this problem.However, the secrets of the space cannot be revealed, and this space is very arrogant.Just a little bit of overutilization and the space closes.Therefore, the preservation problem must rely on human wisdom to solve.

"By the way, according to the guide, the source of the small river at our door is the melting ice and snow on the high mountain thirty miles away. If so, it will be easy to handle now. We can go to the mountain to collect a lot of ice cubes and put them on the ground. Put them in a sealed wooden box, and then put the melons and fruits on top of the ice cubes, so that they can keep fresh!"

Looking at the faint blue shadows of the mountains on the skyline, Da Ya suddenly thought of such an idea and thought it was very good.As far as the current conditions are concerned, this is the only feasible way.
